Turfgrass Disease in the Rough

The cool rainy weather brings on a host of diseases.  Of course, the greens, tees and fairways are treated preventatively.  However, the rough is treated on a curative basis.  The disease above is known as red thread.  You can see the red colored mycelium of the fungus.  It is a relatively harmless pest that is easily treated.  If it exceeds the visual threshold of damage, we will begin to treat.
